Question
Raul Martinas, a professor of languages at Eastern University, owns a small office building adjacent to the university campus. He acquired the
property 10 years ago at a total cost of $608,500-that is, $78,500 for the land and $530,000 for the building. He has just received an offer
from a realty company that wants to purchase the property: however, the property has been a good source of income over the years, and so
Martinas is unsure whether he should keep it or sell it. His alternatives are as follows:
a Keep the property. Martinas's accountant has kept careful records of the income realized from the property over the past 10 years. These
records indicate the following annual revenues and expenses: Martinas makes a $13,250 mortgage payment each year on the property
The mortgage will be paid off in eight more years. He has been depredating the building by the straight-line method, assuming a salvage
value of $79,500 for the building, which he still thinks is an appropriate figure. He feels sure that the building can be rented for another 15
years. He also feels sure that 15 years from now the land will be worth three times what he paid for it.
